Hi there,
I understand your frustration. Here’s what works for me to get the gem dragons. I always use both caves the first few days only for the new gem dragon combo. If I don’t get it those first few days I then wait until the last few days of the month to try again. The first and last days of the month are the best times to get gem dragins and rare dragons. I also either level up the dragons just before breeding or decorate my park like crazy or I use the racing track and place first with dragons I am about to breed. It works… I’ve never missed one gem dragon since doing it this way. Also switch the places of the dragons. IE: the combo for this gem dragon is rain and mountain. Put rain in first and mountain second one time then flip them the next time. And put mountain first and then rain. I’ve gotten gem dragons in both caves too. Hope that helps. Good luck and hang in there!

You’re wrong it doesn’t matter the order. You can place dragons in any order. I have 16 gemstone dragons. And upgraded gemstone island???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????. ???????? ???????? ????????. ????????????????. ???? ????. ????

Over the 2 1/2 years now I have been playing this app (and I have three park, on Apple & android)
I have heard of NUMEROUS “tricks” that have been suggested.
From using hatchlings from unsuccful breeding attempt to above…and always alternate combos…

Try them all…I have different luck on all my parks. Its a game.

Historically, Backflip does a “Bring ‘Em All Back” towards the end of the year!

It doesn’t … I spent probably 3 times the amount I could’ve bought the sapphire for, just to keep breeding the mountain and rain in succession so it works. (Wanted to feel like I accomplished something on here, rather than just paying for everything!) Its been past 20 times and I’ve stopped counting. Such a rewarding game….that’s why the only epic or special dragons I have I’ve BOUGHT. They definitely know how to steal your money. For a “cute” kiddie -type game like this, it disgusts me! Sorry, just had to get that out! ?

I got the Sapphire from breeding bluefire and crystal but you have very goot chances of getting other dragons too-i got two moon, a sun and a rainbow also but anyways im not complaining. if you are desperate for rare dragons you should try this it is the best combo for any rare dragon.

I don’t think you need the EBI; many of my epic dragons have come from the cave. I also don’t think you HAVE to get your dragons to high levels, it just improves your chances. And then, there is just randomness! I have been trying for the sapphire for almost three weeks, on the EBI, with level 17 mountain and level 18 rain… And still nothing! And others got it on their second try… 🙂 In my experience, though, if you keep trying, the gem of the month dragon tends to show up towards the end of month! Good fortune…

Thank you sooooo much GreenRay and Justin, your the only people who has told me, thank you so much, cause Iv been trying for a Sapphire on EBI and NBC like so many times and all I ever get is ice dragons, but thank you again 🙂

Unfortunately yes, my mum and sister tried that multiple times, but then tried rain and mountain and got it, I’m still trying, breeding a rain is easy because its more common then a fog, good luck on getting a sapphire 🙂

Thank you 🙂 ,now Iv tried for a Sapphire for ages, AND STILL NO SAPPHIRE, I tried 1000 times for cotton, nothing, Sapphire, nothing yet, mum and sister have on the same day! But the day my sisters Sapphire hatched, she attempted an amber, and she got an amber, ow well, I better not give up hope, good luck everyone 😉

Another annoying question, sorry guys, does anyone know redeem codes apart from Dv117 and 2years ? I don’t have anywhere near the cost of a Sapphire dragon, and I tried, the time I will have to wait is 10:16pm, Iv got like 1 or 2 gems, spent on trying to speed up breeding for a Sapphire, mum and sister both got a Sapphire on the same day, but I attempted a cotton, and that never worked, I’m not going to be bothered cheating, so I just wonder any useful redeem codes, and also dads not gonna spend money on a game, so now I’m frustrated 🙁 , and don’t be bothered telling me a hack web sight because they’re all FAKE!!!!! And Sapphire dragon is my FAVOURITE BREED!!!!! And I just can’t miss out, good luck everyone who is trying for a Sapphire 😉

I just spend 50 gems trying ti speed up the breeding with unsuccessful I hate this is unvelibeble you spend hours and hours tying to get gems but when you spend it you realize that you are losing your time. They should reward often for those hours spend waiting for breeding or hatching eggs. Also if you make win a race usually just win food.

Got it with level 13 Mountain & level 12 Rain on epic breeding island on the 2nd try… I had just leveled up my Mountain dragon… I noticed I tend 2 have better luck after I have just leveled up 1 or both of the dragons I’m breeding
